UK Gender Pay Gap Reporting Changes
The UK Employment Rights Act received Royal Assent in Parliament on 18 December 2025. These changes build on the existing duty for employers with 250 or more employees to report annually. From 1 January 2027, these employers will be required to go further by producing mandatory gender pay gap and menopause action plans. Private employers must use a snapshot date of 5 April to annually report the mean and median gender pay gap, mean and median bonus gap, bonus proportions, and quartile pay bands for their organisations in their report. Action plans should outline targeted, practical steps to reduce workplace gender inequalities.
